Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Sizzle by Jennifer Crusie  Business takes a backseat when successful ad executive Emily Tate meets Richard Parker. He's an accountant who's been sent to keep her in line and under budget in her ad campaign for a sensual new perfume called Sizzle. And if Emily's not careful, she could well melt in Richard's hands.  Too Fast to Fall by Victoria Dahl For Jenny Stone, driving is her escape-from her past, her problems, her quiet life in Jackson Hole. But after Deputy Nate Hendricks stops her-again-for speeding, she could lose more than just her license. She could lose her heart. Nate seems to think that Jenny should replace her love for fast driving with something even more...heart pumping. And despite her need for speed, Jenny's never been one for defying the law.  Alone With You by Shannon Stacey  When waitress Darcy Vaughan's friend asks her to help out with the launch of a fledgling restaurant, she's happy to oblige. Little does she know the owner is Jake Holland, the perfect guy who slipped through her fingers after their one night of passion. But for Darcy and Jake, one touch was just not enough.

    Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

    I'm not a short story person, generally. I love character development, I love character growth, and the quick and dirty plot devices that normally keep lovers apart in romantic short stories rarely work for me. Through that lens, and with those prejudices in mind, this was a five star short story anthology for me. Jennifer Crusie's offering was witty and hot, though the devices keeping the main characters apart were pretty clunky. Victoria Dahl's offering was also red hot, though I didn't really enjoy seeing the ex-husband trainwreck coming from a mile away. Shannon Stacey's story, surprisingly enough, had the least emphasis on the silly "obstacle" keeping the characters apart (which I loved), though the ending seemed rushed.
